Definitely read some Barth.  I started with The Floating
Opera, which was given to me by a friend.  I loved it but
I never pursued any other books by him until I was
assigned The End of the Road in a Sociology class in college.
I felt that I could easily have been any of the three main
characters in The End of the Road.  I have enjoyed all of his
books since then but I'll never forget my first reading of 
those two books.  My recommendation, read Barth.
